Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes Features:
- A Thrilling, Story-driven Take on the Iconic Sci-Fi Franchise: In Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, the infamous sentient robot species known as the Cylons has decimated humanity’s haven and is closing in on your Fleet. Your only hope of surviving is to resist Cylon attacks until you can jump to the next sector of the galaxy, in a grand bid to ultimately reach the iconic carrier ship, the Battlestar Galactica.
- Life-or-death Decision Making: You cannot win an all-out battle, and time between Cylon assaults is slim; learn and capitalize on your crew’s individual strengths as you find a way to succeed against all odds. Choose your priorities between battles, whether it’s searching for resources, resolving disputes among your in-Fleet factions, making repairs or upgrades, or searching for potential Cylon imposters among your ranks…
- High-stakes Combat: Deploy fighters and direct them in hybrid real time and tactical battles to dispatch the Cylons, minimizing damage to your central ship while wielding its onboard defenses against your gravest threats.
- Vast Replayability: No two runs in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes are ever the same. Each attempt brings new lessons as you adapt to defy your odds of survival, and tactical options broaden as you unlock additional squadrons, weapons and traits as well as meta upgrades to benefit future runs.
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes builds on Alt Shift’s celebrated narrative tactical release in the 1 million+ player game, Crying Suns, and evokes Battlestar Galactica’s striking universe through beautifully detailed artwork.
